Generous £75 Wheely offer with American Express

A good deal with Wheely, the London-based Uber competitor, has appeared on a lot of American Express cards. You need to look under the ‘Offers’ section on the online statement page of each Amex card you have.

You will receive £25 cashback when you spend £25 with Wheely in one ride. You can get the money up to three times until the offer expires on 17th May. It is actually three x £25 credits per Amex card, so you may find that you can get it six or nine times depending on how many of your Amex cards it appears on.

Wheely is equivalent to Uber Exec and Uber Luxe, Its cheapest option is a Mercedes E-Class.

The biggest snag is the need to spend £25 in one ride. It is NOT cumulative and you do not get any credit if you spend under £25. Spend £24 and your net cost is £24. Spend £26 and, with the credit, your ride will only cost £1.

This is not a problem if you are heading to an airport but on shorter trips you cannot be sure you will hit the target. The complex way Wheely calculate fares (an E-Class is £6 + 50p per minute + £1.60 per mile) means that you can’t be certain what you’ll pay. It is certainly worth a look, however.

I’m STILL waiting to hear back from Curve after seeking to cancel three weeks ago. I got an initial (non-automated) response after about five days asking if I was sure, I confirmed I was – and still nothing despite having chased.

20% off your first Wheely ride with code: 59J6X Stackable with the Amex offer, good with airport runs where the 20% is obviously worth more and the ride is fixed price so no concerns about not going over the £25.

I have a Lloyds upgrade voucher I’ve noticed is about to expire so I’m planning on redeeming today. Any particular advise on which flight / airport is better ? Both HND and NRT have business seats available on the dates I’m interested in.
Thanks

OT: Continuing the SPG Amex threads, I’ve just received my “30,000 points bonus” from my SPG card and they have transferred 1:1 to Bonvoy points (not the 3:2 that I assumed). I know this has been done to death on here before (I can’t find any of the old comments) but has anyone had any luck getting the correct conversion on the SPG points or shall I just leave it and carry on with my life?

Purchase Conditions
Collect 700 Avios when you spend £45 on your first online Tesco shop. Avios will only be awarded if the first purchase is made via a desktop computer. No Avios will be awarded if you spend £44.99 or less. Avios will not be available if you are a Tesco Delivery Saver customer. Customers who have made an online grocery purchase with Tesco before will not be eligible for any Avios.

You will not receive Avios for any other purchases from Tesco.

Queries can only be investigated after 30 days from the date the purchase was made.

The stand out point for me here is that if you are a regular Tesco delivery customer and pay the monthly Delivery Saver fee, you can’t use that so would have to pay for delivery (presumably on top of the £45 min spend on groceries)

The small print in the ‘About’ section underneath notes the following:

“Remember your Clubcard points can be turned into Avios on every shop you make. £2.50 of Clubcard Vouchers can be changed into 700 Avios..”

I thought it was £2.50 = 600 Avios. Is this an error on BAs website (which, lets face it, would not be unusual) or have they increased the rate? The link to the Tesco page suggests its a(nother) BA IT error – Tesco still quoting £2.50 = 600 Avios
